    C T Scan

    The document describes a CT scan machine and how it works. It produces 2D and 3D cross-sectional images using an X-ray tube that rotates 360 degrees around the subject. The tube produces X-rays when electrons hit a stationary target at high voltage. A cooling system is needed to prevent overheating from the 99% of power that becomes thermal energy inside the tube. The CT scan converts signals from the rotating X-ray tube and stationary detector into images that are displayed.

    C T scan:

    X-ray Computed Tomography, also Computed Tomography (CT scan) or Computed Axial Tomography (CAT scan)

    Medical imaging:
    is the technique and process used to create images of the human body (or parts and function thereof) for clinical purposes (medical procedures seeking to reveal, diagnose or examine disease) or medical science (including the study of normal anatomy and physiology). Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are not usually referred to as medical imaging, but rather are a part of pathology.

    CT produces a volume of data that can be manipulated, through a process known as "windowing", in order to demonstrate various bodily structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam.

    The simple figure it is how the CT scan system works:

    At our University we have a CT scan machine the 3ed generation of CT scan

    With team lab we decided with doctor to look and to open the machine to know about it, how does to works, clean it up and know about component.

    It Is a instrument make 2 diminution or 3 diminution (2D,3D) X-ray by tube which produces a series of cross-sectional images . The source/detector makes a complete 360-degree rotation about the subject obtaining a complete set of data from which images may be reconstructed

    Tube:
    - Spinning tube, commonly called spiral CT, in which an entire X-ray tube is spun around the central axis of the area being scanned. - It is works under 150000 thousand volts DC power supply. - It is fixed number of volts not change like another X-ray.

    The current also fixed . In 99% of power go inside the tube it convert to thermal. 1% for X-ray. IT is need to a good cooling system We can replace the tube 3to4 times a year.

    - This laser it can using for selected the position that we want to make image processing

    Konometer

    Open up the beam look like pyramid to cover the area around the position we selected.

    Cooling System

    - Its the one that malfunction in the system in Medial East coz of high temperature counters. - It is depend on oil &water cooling like car - Fan it make the system more under normal working with cooler circulation.

    Signal and rotating system control

    The CT scan take the image as signal and the right photo compute and transfer the signal and show the output on display.

    Power supply

    The tube is far larger and higher power to support the high temporal resolution. The electron beam is deflected in a hollow funnel-shaped vacuum chamber. X-rays are generated when the beam hits the stationary target. The detector is also stationary. This arrangement can result in very fast scans, but is extremely expensive.
